Chapter 857 857 Rabbit Hole
Hugo looked at the people in the room and waved his hand with a smile, "You guys are actually playing cards here, I thought you were having fun outside."
"Carnival is AXL's asshole favorite, and I think it's so noisy." Maynard Keenan said with a disgusted expression, "Slash calls me to come and play cards, so I naturally want it."
Hugo knew that Slash and Axo's relationship was not good, because Axo was too strong and arbitrary. Axo's strong desire to control pushed Guns and Roses to a limit of division. After the band's initial creative core, Yiz Sterling could not stand the tired large-scale tour, Slash became the core of the band's creation. However, Axo still wanted to control the band, which eventually led to the demise of Guns and Roses, a band that swept the 1980s, step by step.
"Haha, how much does it cost to play today?" Hugo chuckled, walked over, looked down at the bets on the desktop, and started chatting with them.
At this time, Sally was watched tightly by Penny. Penny listed Sally as her prey like a cobra, and then stared at Sally with all concentration, which made Sally all over her body.
Sally suddenly realized that Penny, who never showed her trump card in front of them, actually her favorite thing was Hugo. So when Penny saw her and Hugo, the jealousy was almost impossible to suppress, and it ejaculated out of her eyes like a flame.
Looking at the face that became a little distorted due to jealousy, Penny was no longer the queen or the beauty, but became particularly ugly. The same face could have such a big difference, which really made Sally feel a little funny.
Does Penny really like Hugo?
Sally didn't think so, because Penny didn't know what kind of person Hugo was. Penny didn't notice that Hugo covered his nose after coming in. Obviously Hugo was very uncomfortable with the smell of smoke; Penny didn't notice Hugo's rejection of poison, product and sex, love parties. Obviously Hugo didn't like such occasions... Penny wanted to approach him in such a flesh-and-skin manner and seek a spring breeze. Isn't this the ridiculous thing?
Suddenly, Sally felt that Penny was a little pitiful, because Penny didn't know what she wanted, whether it was just a pleasure in the past or a persistence in rock. If it was the former, why should I target a rock band? There were countless good men in this world or men who were willing to have one-night stands; if it was the latter, then spirit was more important than **, right?
Perhaps, what Penny really wants is attention, the kind of attention she was in the hotel lobby this afternoon. But this attention is different from what the rock band gains on the stage, and it only makes Penny even more sad.
At this time, Sally heard Maynard speak, "Alfonso, otherwise, I will block the female companion for the next bet. Whoever wins will be qualified to accompany this female companion overnight."
After saying this, several men did not object, but instead chuckled. At this time, Penny had no intention of paying attention to Sally, so she could only retract her gaze and turn to Alfonso, but Sally noticed the expression on Penny's face: in loneliness, there was helplessness, but she had to force a smile to show her beautiful and charming side. This is the true meaning of flesh and skin, an object.
Sally withdrew her eyes and turned to Hugo. Hugo was obviously not used to the bet of people. He pulled the corners of his mouth slightly and outlined a sarcastic smile, but Hugo didn't say much, but looked at Alfonso, "Where is Pepe? Have you seen him?"
Alfonso did not notice Penny's focus on her eyes, but turned her head to look at Hugo and smiled friendly to Sally, "Pepe, he's in the next room, he's been in for a while." Seeing Hugo turning around and preparing to leave, Alfonso quickly added, "Remember to knock on the door when you go in, maybe Pepe is busy."
Hugo rolled his eyes, "Do you think I am you?" Then he hung his right hand on Sally's shoulder and signaled her to turn and leave.
Before Sally turned around, she saw Penny's mixed eyes. Whether it was jealousy, resentment, or helplessness and unwillingness, Sally couldn't recognize it clearly, so she and Hugo hurriedly left the room.
After walking out of the room, Hugo began to cough. The smoke in the room just now made him feel very uncomfortable. He felt that his skin was itchy. This feeling was so bad.
Sally looked at Hugo like this and asked worriedly, "Is it okay?"
Hugo waved his hand and signaled that it was okay, then walked towards the next room. However, before Hugo knocked on the door, the door of the room opened, and a young man in his twenties appeared in front of him. The young man had a neat buzz cut, an eyebrow nail at the end of his eyebrows, a green stubble on his chin was connected into pieces, a black vest revealed the tattoos from his arms to his neck, and a pair of multi-pocketed trousers seemed a little dragging, and it could be seen that his pockets were full of things.
The young man raised his right hand to Hugo, and a small transparent bag with a index and middle finger, with white powder inside, and a meaningful lewd and slutty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "How about it, are you going to have a trip (t-day pping)?" This obviously does not refer to travel, but to use poisonous drugs, and the state of being unable to concentrate as if it were a special journey.
Obviously, there is a drug dealer in front of me.
Hugo said concisely and clearly, "No!" The firm and affirmative attitude was clear, but the young man in front of him immediately understood that this business was impossible. So the young man did not get entangled anymore, but shrugged his shoulders, skillfully put the transparent bag between his fingers into his palm, and then clenched his fist and put his right hand into his pocket.
"Very good." The young man nodded slightly and shrugged with helpless look. Then Hugo gave way and the young man took a step forward.
Watching the young man leave, Hugo frowned. In fact, he also knew that poisons and drugs were indispensable in the party, and he could not stop every drug dealer. If he really stopped them, the bands would probably not give up with him, so he had no intention of meddling in other people's business. But at this time, he saw the drug dealer coming out at the door of Pedro's room, which was really bad.
Hugo stopped knocking on the door and walked in directly, shouting, "Pepe! Pepe!"
There were some people in the room, and there were seven or eight people sitting in the hall. Hugo looked around carefully and found that it was not Pedro. One of the girls pointed to the bedroom inside. Hugo then quickly walked towards the indoor direction. Sally followed Hugo, following Hugo, but she was short and could not keep up at all, so she could only trot and chased her.
Hugo indeed found Pedro in the bedroom. At this time, Pedro hugged Helena. The two of them looked very happy with a smile. Hugo looked around and there was at least no trace of poisonous products on the surface. Moreover, Pedro also looked very energetic, not as if he was in a trance after taking the poison, which made him breathe a little relieved.
"Hey, Hugo! Why are you here?" Pedro smiled and greeted him.
Helena, who was sitting in Pedro's arms, was immediately excited when she saw Hugo. Then when she saw Sally appearing next, Helena couldn't help but struggle, as if she was thinking about whether she should compete with Sally for Hugo or should she hold on to Pedro tightly.
However, no one noticed Helena's expression. Sally stood behind Hugo and couldn't see clearly, so she didn't notice it. Hugo said directly to Pedro, "Sorry, it's a good thing that bothers you." Hugo scratched his head awkwardly, feeling that he seemed to have overreacted. He was not Pedro's parents, so he shouldn't have done this.
But Pedro did not think too much, but said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, this is Helena. We were just talking about the fun things we did in the last Seattle performance."
Hugo nodded casually to Helena, and even if he greeted him with a smile, he thought about it and said, "Pepe, you know, I just saw a lot of poisons. You'd better be careful not to get it."
Pedro was not surprised at all. They spent at least nearly a year together during the tour of the band. He naturally knew that Hugo hated poison. So he nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I know, I didn't even drink wine today."
Hugo felt that she was still too worried and chuckled twice, "That's good, then you continue to enjoy it, I won't disturb you." After thinking about it, he swallowed it if he had reminded Pedro to practice at night, then waved his hand dryly, and turned around and left.
After leaving the room, Hugo took Sally straight towards the elevator, and Hugo didn't relax after the elevator was completed.
Hugo leaned against the wall of the elevator, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He kept telling himself: You must relax. This is the current situation of the rock circle. You can't just be like Zhang Xiaoye's cup. If this continues, not only will you have problems sooner or later, Pepe and the others will definitely not like it.
However, Zhang Xiaoye's incident brought too deep memories and impact to Hugo. As long as you close your eyes, you will think of the body that is gradually losing body temperature. It is pale and without any blood, just like a white lotus blooming on the endless black earth. Hugo feels that she is really too tense, so that her fatigue surges up directly.
But soon, Hugo still let out a long breath and smiled at Sally next to him, "Are you okay?"
Sally looked at the fatigue between Hugo's eyebrows and nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine."
Watching the elevator walk down from the 14th floor, Sally can finally relax. The entrance to the 14th floor is like a rabbit hole in "Alice in Wonderland". It is the entrance to a strange and unusual world, but it is also the exit. The bizarre and illusory mist in that world make people yearn for, but it is also a fear.
At this time, they finally escaped the rabbit hole. Seeing the rabbit hole go away little by little, Sally's tense heartstrings finally gradually relaxed.
